A little Friday trauma never hurt anybody

Life is funny. You make plans for the day, week, month and you just expect that things will go your way. Then sometimes something happens that completely derails you. Friday, I was at work when I got a phone call; Raegan was having trouble breathing. I left as fast as my legs would move and […]

What do you mean you’re not babies anymore?

The other night both girls were up and frantic, and after the third time of pacing with Raegan, I walked by my full-length mirror and snuck a peek. Seriously, my baby is gigantic. Let’s be real; Raegan will always be Itty Bitty to me, but seeing her, her body draped across mine, I realized, she’s […]

Mama’s play date with Raegan

I didn’t have to be at work as early this morning, so I stayed home with Raegan. I was going to take Ella to her Conductive Education class, but I’m sick, so decided I better avoid the other babies. I was thinking as I pushed her along in Buds’ old umbrella stroller that I rarely […]

Please pardon my chaotic life

So this post may sound like a long list of excuses, but I feel it’s owed given my long absence.   After getting back from the trip, I was sick, then celebrated our belated Mother’s Day since I missed it, then started a new job and have been working long days and not getting home til […]

Kids are the worst

I just got back yesterday from a week away in London and Paris. (Hence my unusual quietness on the blog front.) Aside from the trip being awesome, it was the first time I was away from the kids, and it made me realize something;  kids are the worst. I mean, think about it. They ruin […]

Is There Still a “Me” in There? Defining Myself as More Than a Mom of Three – Twiniversity

One of my friends and I have known each other since we were five, and we still joke that it feels like I’ve always had kids. Honestly, it sometimes is hard to remember life pre-kids. Like, what did I do with all my time?? It can be hard to find the time to do things […]

Man, this parenting crap is hard

You know, I’m not sure if this gets said enough, but this parenting crap is hard. Like, really hard. This week has been rough. Transitioning Ella with the babysitter and seeing her so upset was brutal. I have to practically hold myself back from running to her and giving her giant smooches to feel better. […]

When it rains, get the perfect umbrella on Etsy

I’d like to thank my friend for her suggested post title, as my original title was: When it rains, it pours, and the roof leaks and the basement floods, and mold grows, and an electrical fire starts, and when heading down the stairs to clean up, you fall and break your leg, and then a […]

Am I just a lazy mum?

The great thing about having had Buds before the girls is that I had a pretty decent grip on motherhood before dealing with all the extra needs the girls have. The downside is that he was the most chill baby ever who slept consistently through the night and had the same nap schedule almost from […]

An open letter to my babies who refuse to sleep

Dear babies, It’s your Mama. You hopefully know me as the person who feeds you, changes you, bathes you, sings to you, cuddles you, and most importantly,  loves you. You may also know me as the sleep drunk woman in pyjamas with a zombie face staggering into your room several times a night in response […]
